Steel can be shaped into wires sheet etc very easily.is it the same case with iron? [ pure iron]
Sure. We used to use iron in a fairly pure form, with almost no carbon in it. It was called 'wrought iron,' and it was essentially pure iron with some fibers of slag in it, but these didn't make much of a difference in its behavior. The Eiffel Tower is made of wrought iron, as is the framework of the Statue of Liberty in the US. There are some pillars of iron in India somewhere. We could still make things out of pure iron if we wanted, but we generally don't because steel--iron with just a tiny bit of carbon added--is so much stronger, even though it rusts rather more readily than pure iron.
